COUPON SYSTEM
Effect On Patriotic Effort
There is evidence that the restricting influence of the coupon system is stiflingpatriotic effort in some quarters. This was reported ill yesterday's meeting of the Wellington Provincial Patriotic Connnil's monthly meeting, when Mr. Mansford, mayor of Palmerston North, said that women's stockings, among other tilings, could no longer be raffled. Surely they should be allowed to raffle gooiß when it was for patriotic purposes.
Tin- hon. secretary, Mr. Vincent. Ward, said that his experience had been the same. “I gave permisison to people to raffle a bag of sugar and a bottle of whisky among other things," lie said, "and was told later that I had to pull them out.”
Mr. Mansi’ord said the coupon system was also interfering with the sale of goods in the patriotic shops nil over the country, as people were not likely to use their coupons unnecessarily to buy something they might fancy in a patriotic shop.
